Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
Autobiographical detail becomes a lens to reflect and refract the deepest aspects of personal and social life in Delany’s ground-breaking non-fiction writing.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
